Triumph Inspiration Award

Am not sure whether this was self-awarded, but it is definitely more funny and silly rather than inspirational. I am sure they running out the stores

Going fishing?

I was interested to see this intricate net and string system that I can only assume was installed to catch any falling objects through the centre of this stairwell. Stairwells that act as light wells are very common here, so I am surprised if falling objects are a problem that you do not see them more often around the city.

Slipper lobsters

Not as common in Vietnam as you would think, Slipper's (or Bugs back in Australia) are hard to come by. These little babies were trucked down from Mui Ne at around the third of the price of normal lobsters, but with just as much taste.

Asian Monopoly

I was interested to see this Monopoly board in a shop recently. There were no street or station names on the board, which surely must take a fair bit of fun and identity out of the game. Buying "Dark Blue Space #2" rather than Mayfair in the English version and Park Lane in the American version is what I used to enjoy about Monopoly. When I inquired as to why there were no names, I was told that it was the "Asian" version.

Bitexico Financial Tower

Saigon's tallest building is nearing completion. With its distinctive lotus petal shape it is already an impressive sight on across the city skyline
